I think Milei will sooner be a candidate for the igNobel prize rather than for any real one.
This is a classic case of “monkey see, monkey do, monkey fcuk up”, I can only imagine that FOMO drove him to do what his orange-coloured idol up north did with a bit more success. This should surely dispel any idea that Milei knows that he’s doing. Gabbling from the screeds of dead economists doesn’t make you one.
I do wonder how he profited off this, though.
I don’t necessarily believe or trust Cristina, but she rather comprehensively (after waiting a decent interval for an apology that didn’t come) had her way with Milei.
